• You must submit documentation such as official transcripts and/or certificates verifying the minimum 1,200 hours of emergency services training.

 Recognition of Prior Learning

If you completed relevant courses at another post-secondary institution, you may be eligible for transfer credit. Apply for transfer credit at least 2 months before classes start by completing the transfer credit form.

• Applications for transfer credit will only be reviewed once you have been accepted into the program and paid the tuition deposit.
• Transfer credit will be awarded only where credit has been earned.
• Transfer credit is awarded for formal learning experiences supported by an official transcript. Be prepared to submit course outlines and additional documentation upon request.
• Transfer credit fee is $375 per credit​. If the application is not approved, there is a minimum fee of $100. This fee could increase up to $375 depending on the administrative time required to process the application.
• A maximum of 10 transfer credits will be approved. 
• Courses or credentials can't be used for both admission entrance requirements and transfer credit. If your credentials are used for the admission entrance requirements, they will not be reviewed for transfer credit. For example, you couldn't use the same 1,200 hours of NFPA certification to meet entrance requirements and also for transfer credit for one of the program modules.
